    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_helium

    Liquid helium is a physical state of helium at very low temperatures at standard atmospheric pressures. Liquid helium may show superfluidity . At standard pressure, the chemical element helium exists in a liquid form only at the extremely low temperature of −269 °C (−452.20 °F; 4.15 K).

  4. Lifting gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting_gas

    The amount of mass that can be lifted by helium in air at sea level is: (1.292 - 0.178) kg/m 3 = 1.114 kg/m 3. and the buoyant force for one m 3 of helium in air at sea level is: 1 m 3 × 1.114 kg/m 3 × 9.8 N/kg= 10.9 N. Thus hydrogen's additional buoyancy compared to helium is: 11.8 / 10.9 ≈ 1.08, or approximately 8.0%

  7. Molar volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molar_volume

    The interest stems from that accurate measurements of the unit cell volume, atomic weight and mass density of a pure crystalline solid provide a direct determination of the Avogadro constant. [3] The CODATA recommended value for the molar volume of silicon is 1.205 883 199 (60) × 10 −5 m 3 ⋅mol −1, with a relative standard uncertainty of ...

    Note that the especially high molar values, as for paraffin, gasoline, water and ammonia, result from calculating specific heats in terms of moles of molecules. If specific heat is expressed per mole of atoms for these substances, none of the constant-volume values exceed, to any large extent, the theoretical Dulong–Petit limit of 25 J⋅mol ...

    Helium also has a very low boiling point (-268.9°C or -452°F), allowing it to remain a gas even in super-cold environments, an important feature because many rocket fuels are stored in that ...
